Entering Commands from the CA VM:Backup Service Virtual Machine

You can enter CA VM:Backup commands on the CA VM:Backup console if your product service virtual machine is running in connected mode. In this case, enter only the command; do not prefix the command with the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine name. For example, to issue the SUSPEND command, enter suspend; do not enter vmbackup suspend.

When you enter commands at the CA VM:Backup console, you must enter each command on a separate command line. You cannot enter two commands, separated by the pound sign (#) command delimiter, on a single command line; CA VM:Backup does not support the # command delimiter.

Important! Do not issue commands or use CP SMSG with commands that result in full-screen prompting, such as the RESTORE command.
